Kevin Montano sends along an image of the 2010 National Jamboree issue from Ga-Hon-Ga Lodge #34 of the Revolutionary Trails Council. Ga-Hon-Ga Lodge only issued a chevron patch to be used with its new regular issue flap.

Back in October 2006, I wrote about a set of patches from Gahonga Lodge #34.

Ray Gould had reported on the Gahonga Lodge #34 Training Set X2 X3 X4 X5 X6

Conversation with the Lodge Adviser confirms they were issued beginning Spring Ordeal/Fellowship 2006 and continued Fall Ordeal/Fellowship 2006. There are currently 125 of each part and the Adviser indicates that if deemed successful in helping promote training, they may be continued in the future (re-order if needed). They were issued in no specific order and specific part were given to those attending each of 4 separate training sessions at their lodge functions. They combine to form a jacket patch.

A set of these patches recently ended on eBay for a surprising price.

Clicking on the image will bring you to the auction for the next few months.

Three separate bidders were in over $ 35 before the hammer came down at over $ 56.00.

I guess the expression small lodge with not a lot of traders may be coming into play here.

Over two and a half years ago, I wrote about a new two-piece set from Ga-Hon-Ga Lodge #34 celebrating its 5th Anniversary. The two piece set recognizes the 182 combined years of history from the 6 predecessor lodges. These lodges are depicted by their totems, lodge numbers and start date on the chevron.

Chris advises that they are (at least currently) being issued one set per member.

An auction for this Ga-Hon-Ga Lodge #34 F1 X7 set recently ended on eBay for a surprising amount.

Clicking on the image will bring you to the auction for the next few months.

There were 5 distinct bidders at $ 25 or more, but two bidders were determined to add this piece to their collection.  One of them did for over $ 85.00.

Like Tkaen DoD Lodge #30, Ga-Hon-Ga did not issue any NOAC patches on their own, the new Section NE-3A continued the traditions of the ‘old’ NE-3A and NE-3B by issuing Section a set of flaps for the NOAC.

As has happened for the last several NOAC’s, the Section, NE-3A, issued a series of flaps, one for each lodge in the section.

The flaps share a common design, a Scout with stave hiking towards Indiana University.

Another pair of images from Tom Wadnola, this time for the 2003 Section NE-3B Conclave.  This conclave was held at Camp Russell and hosted by Ga-Hon-Ga Lodge #34.  The theme was “Feel the Fire.”

More after the jump.

Chris Meacham bring word of a new two-piece set from Ga-Hon-Ga Lodge #34 celebrating its 5th Anniversary. The two piece set recognizes the 182 combined years of history from the 6 predecessor lodges. These lodges are depicted by their totems, lodge numbers and start date on the chevron.

Chris writes:

Here is a scan of the 5 year anniversary patch. Many lodge members are dissatisfied with the way it came out, but elected to issue it anyway. We consider this to be a mistake, as the moose on the flap do not look like moose and a few other reasons.

Chris advises that they are (at least currently) being issued one set per member.
